Sketch for cover up

Here is a sketch I’m working on for a cover up. Its on the inside of the arm, so there is not a lot of space. The saving grace would be that the tattoo I am covering is a simple font phrase.

This next sketch I moved the tail around and put some water around the serpent.

This shot shows the tracing and the cover up.

I’ll draw this one or two more times to clean it up. I liked this Malone dauphin that he painted a few years ago. I was trying to remember what it looked like. I’ll color this up and fix the stuff on it I don’t like in the morning. Time for bed.
